      Silva Interview
      Anderson Silva has always been a great sport, and was really grateful to everyone for coming out, he said:
      “I am so happy to be here again, I feel it is my second home, Thank you to Bruno for giving me the chance to come here and fight, he is the king of MMA here in Abu Dhabi.”
      “Maybe i’ll fight in a Jiu-Jitsu tournament…”

      Round Seven
      Silva gets some great shots in, and it looks like he’s only fighting at 50%.
      Machado looks no match for ‘The Spider’ anymore, his hands are too quick.
      Machado gets a good left hook at the end of this round, and we could be set for a huge final round.
      Round Six
      Silva has that look in his eyes.
      Huge credit to Machado, he has stepped in the ring against his idol and has got back up after being knocked down.
      Machado is trying to recollect himself here while he gets back from the knockdown.
      Round Five
      Silva is letting Machado now, if he wanted to sit him down here, he could.
      Any shots from Machado seem like they are not damaging Anderson Silva, he hits a beautiful left hand.
      Bruno is experiencing a fight against his idol here, and holding his own!
      Silva knocks down Machado!
      What a shot by ‘The Spider’, a HUGE right hook.
      Round Four.
      A bit of showmanship from Silva in this one, he has a great boxing IQ.
      When he wants to show up, you can bet he will show up.

      And she is desperate to be undisputed this year.
      Cameron vs Bustos – R10
      The two brave women slug it out but it’s hopeful from Bustos and hurtful from Cameron.

      Cameron vs Bustos – R8

      Wan-Bissaka Man Utd future EXCLUSIVE, Jonathan David transfer latest, Pogba ‘agrees Juventus deal’ – latest updates

      by

      AARON WAN-BISSAKA wants a new contract at Manchester United — but has been told to wait on new Erik ten Hag’s verdict on his future, SunSport can exclusively reveal.United blocked recent inquiries for him, prompting AWB’s team to ask for a long-term deal instead.
      Meanwhile, Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed a deal to return to Juventus, according to reports in Italy.
      The Frenchman will leave United again on a free and walk back to Turin where he will pocket £6.75m-a-season plus bonuses.
      And Manchester United are reportedly set to do battle with Arsenal for Lille forward Jonathan David.
      According to CBS, incoming new manager Ten Hag – who will be in attendance for United’s game at Crystal Palace this weekend – wants to sign the Canada international to bolster his attack.
      Lille are said to want around £42million for the striker.

      Stay up to date with all the latest Old Trafford news in our live blog…
      Erik’s caged Devils
      EXCLUSIVE: Erik ten Hag plans to cage in his players as part of his grand plan to rebuild Manchester United, writes PHIL THOMAS.
      The new Old Trafford gaffer has already handed training ground staff details of what he wants when he starts work this summer.

      And that includes prepping a five-a-side pitch for what Ten Hag has labelled “cage work,” when players are put through a confined space-session.
      United’s smaller pitch at their Carrington base is already fenced in and there will be no excuses – or escape – for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.
      Ten Hag is believed to also want some of the half-sized pitches redrawn to replicate the ones he used on a daily basis at Ajax.
      A United insider said: “The new manager has already provided a number of technical requests and the staff are working hard to have it ready
      “The astro five-a-side pitch is named the Adidas Predator Zone and the lads use it for fun and games – but Ten Hag has daily plans for it.
      “He wants the players locked in and uncomfortable until they are totally at ease with it. The pitch is caged in and he wants it ready to go.
      “The club is determined to give him everything he needs and it is currently all hands to the pump at Carrington.”
      Butt and Scholes will Salf it out
      EXCLUSIVE: Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes will take a more hands-on role in running the team and training at Salford City.
      The ex-Manchester United pair are club owners – along with fellow Class of 92 stars Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham – and will work closely with new boss Neil Wood.
      Butt, 47, left his coaching job at United last year and Scholes, also 47, was manager at Oldham in 2019.  
      Now they will move from the boardroom to help Wood, 39, on a regular basis.
      As SunSport revealed earlier this week, Wood became the shock choice for the job at the Peninsula Stadium, before he was announced on Friday.
      Wood, who replaced Gary Bowyer, is another former United academy graduate – although he never made a senior appearance for the Red Devils.
      Aaron eyes new Utd contract
      EXCLUSIVE: Aaron Wan-Bissaka wants a new deal at United — but has been told to wait on Erik ten Hag’s verdict on his future, writes ALAN NIXON.
      The right-back is out of contract in two years.
      United blocked recent inquiries for him, prompting AWB’s team to ask for a long-term deal instead.
      Crystal Palace have been linked with re-signing their academy star, but Wan-Bissaka is on more than the Eagles usually pay.
      Even a loan return to Selhurst Park would be difficult to sort due to his current wages.
      Incoming boss Ten Hag will pass judgement on the current squad, with United expected to make a number of changes this summer.
      Cottagers want Matic talks
      EXCLUSIVE: Fulham want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United, writes ALAN NIXON.
      The Championship winners are keen to bring the ex-Chelsea midfielder back to London.
      Matic, 33, has played a key role at United lately and is still very capable at the top level.
      But he is choosing to move on rather than be part of Erik ten Hag’s revolution.
      Foreign interest in Matic is great but he could get a deal that works for him at Fulham and can slot back into life in London, after two great spells with the Blues.
      Matic revealed he would leave United last month in a lengthy statement on social media.
      Evra calls out absent Utd legends
      Ex-United left-back Patrice Evra appeared to lash out at fellow club heroes who missed the 3-1 Legends’ charity match defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford.
      United greats such as Gary Neville, Jaap Stam and Dimitar Berbatov laced their boots one more time to take on former Reds rivals including Jamie Carragher, Dirk Kuyt and Jerzy Dudek.

      Ex-France left-back Evra – who played with Three Lions icons including Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand – was also unhappy with the lack of heroes who are based in England as he himself had to fly from Dubai.
      The former left-back told MUTV: “I’m sorry for the fans. I know it’s a charity game, but there is a rivalry between the two clubs. There is no friendly match.
      “Where are the English players? I live in Dubai. I came from there. When Man Utd call, you answer.
      “I think more legends should be here today. When United calls you, you have to be there.”
      Chelsea ‘obvious match for Pogba’
      Paul Pogba has been rated Chelsea’s perfect signing.
      The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is tipped for a summer free transfer to old club Juventus or PSG, with Real Madrid now outsiders.
      But ex-Red Devils striker Louis Saha believes Pogba would form a natural partnership with a more defensive France team-mate at Stamford Bridge.
      Fellow Frenchman Saha told Lord Ping: “Chelsea is the obvious match for Pogba because he loves to play with N’Golo Kante.
      “We always try to compare what he does with France and United and the ability of Kante makes Pogba play to another dimension.
      “Only Pogba can indicate where he wants to go, I’m just sad he hasn’t fulfilled his dream.”
      Pogba has reportedly rejected joining United’s neighbours City.
      Spurs ‘pave way for Utd on Johnstone’
      Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
      Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
      Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
      And United have been linked with Johnstone long before Erik ten Hag was named as incoming manager.
      Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
      Even Legends can’t salvage Utd pride
      United’s Legends were humbled just as much as the mediocre current squad have been this season as Mark Gonzalez hit a stunner in a 3-1 Charity match win for Liverpool’s oldies.
      The former Chile midfielder only spent one season at Anfield in 2006-07 – scoring two Premier League goals.

      But he notched a superb 30-yard free-kick past United sub keeper Kevin Pilkington and a stoppage-time clincher.
      A goalless first half was played in high spirits for good causes,including the Man Utd Foundation, with £1.3million raised as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher captained the two teams and the likes of Patrice Evra, Jaap Stam and Andriy Voronin took part.
      But Liverpool came flying out of the blocks in the second 45.
      Replacement forward Luis Garcia’s cheeky stepover beat Raimond van der Gouw all ends up and Garcia rounded the keeper to roll in the opener.
      Dimitar Berbatov won a penalty three minutes later to coolly slot in for 1-1.
      But Dirk Kuyt hit the post for Liverpool before Gonzalez struck twice to give them victory.
      Juve fans ecstatic at ‘Pogba agreeing return’
      Paul Pogba sent Juventus fans into meltdown with his latest Instagram post – after reportedly agreeing to return to Turin.
      He got Old Lady supporters excited by uploading a picture of him posing on a waterfront on his social media.
      Pogba, wearing a yellow tracksuit with “Guinea” on the back and a red cap, faced away from the camera overlooking the greenery, water and hills beyond.

      It is unclear exactly where the photo was taken – but fans flooded the replies with comments of “Pogback” as they prepare for his return to Juventus.
      One said: “See you at the stadium Paul.”
      Another wrote: “Welcome back.”
      And a third added: “We are waiting for you at home.”
      The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer.
      And he looks set to leave as a free agent with no extension agreed.
      A controversial move across town to Manchester City fell through and PSG were also keen.
      Barca say it will be tough to sign Lewandowski
      Barcelona are in talks to sign Robert Lewandowski but say it will be difficult to land the Bayern Munich legend.
      Poland striker Lewandowski has hinted in recent weeks he fancies a new challenge.
      And Barca were immediately rated favourites to sign the 33-year-old.
      Manchester United and Chelsea have previously been linked tentatively with arguably Europe’s most proven out-and-out frontman of the past decade.
      Ronaldo to miss Prem finale through injury
      Cristiano Ronaldo has withdrawn from Manchester United’s squad for tomorrow’s Prem finale at Crystal Palace with a hip injury.
      The Red Devils need victory to seal sixth place.
      But 24-goal top-scorer Ron, 37, is suddenly sidelined.
      Red Devils in queue for David
      Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly being joined by Chelsea and Newcastle in eyeing Lille striker Jonathan David.
      West Ham and Aston Villa are also said to be keen on the Canadian speedster.
      Incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.
      Shaw welcomes a child
      The Red Devils face the Eagles away at Selhurst Park in their final Premier League game of the season.
      Luke Shaw is a doubt to feature for Manchester United against Crystal Palace on Sunday following the birth of his second child.
      Congratulations Luke and Anouska!

      Pogba to Juve done, say reports
      Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to return to Juventus having taken a huge pay cut.
      The 29-year-old is available on a free transfer with his contract at Old Trafford to expire at the end of the season.
      La Gazetta dello Sport report that the last doubts are “resolved” and Paul Pogba is heading back to Juventus.
      A three-year contract is “ready” for Pogba to sign but the midfielder has “decided”.
      It is worth of around £120k-a-week, plus bonuses.

      De Jong wants Champions League
      Manchester United transfer target Frenkie de Jong wants Champions League football next season – throwing his move to Old Trafford in doubt even further.
      A transfer could now be in doubt as the Barcelona star is desperate to play for a team in the Champions League, not just the Premier League.
      Journalist Fabrizio Romano said: “I’m sure he wants to play Champions League football, so it’s not going to be easy.”
      With Man Utd seemingly heading to the Europa League, if results go their way on Sunday, the player could go elsewhere.
      Xavi praises De Jong
      Barcelona boss Xavi has praised Frenkie de Jong ahead of a potential block to the Man Utd transfer.
      New Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is rumoured to be keen on bringing the midfielder to the club, having worked with him at Ajax.
      But Xavi says: “For me, Frenkie is a great player, he’s a beast – I like him and I think he can be part of an important era of the club.
      “We will see the economic situation of the club… but I like de Jong”.

      Ring in the changes at United
      Ralf Rangnick has told Manchester United to go for glory in the Europa League and guarantee themselves a place in the prestigious Champions League again.
      Rangnick said: “It is a big difference if a club like United plays in the Europa League rather than the Europa Conference League.
      “Frankfurt finished in the lower half of Bundesliga but won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League – this should be an incentive.”
      German Rangnick, who officially hands over the reins of power to Ten Hag on Monday, added: “I still strongly believe there is a core of players who are top, and good enough to play for the club.
      “And hopefully most of them will still be here.
      “If the board and Erik bring in players with the right mentality, I am positive that we will be able to put this club back not just on the right track but to the top.
      “Maybe it will not happen in one transfer window but I am positive in the next two or three.”
      Pogba at Juventus : part two
      Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to return to Juventus having taken a huge pay cut.
      The French playmaker spent four years at the Italian club before a world-record £109m move to Old Trafford.
      He made 178 appearances for the Turin team, scoring 34 goals and providing 40 assists.
      Juventus won FOUR consecutive Serie A titles with Pogba at the club.

      Manchester United to blow sixth?
      Chris Sutton and Micah Richards spoke with the Daily Mail in preparation for tomorrow’s Premier League finale.
      Both agreed that Ralf Rangnick’s team could slip up.
      Sutton said: “Manchester United deserve the Europa Conference League after this sorry season”.
      And former Man City defender Richards thinks “West Ham win at Brighton but I don’t think Manchester United beat Crystal Palace”.
      If that happens, West Ham finish sixth for Europa League, and the Red Devils would be in the Europa Conference League next season.
      Sutton added that “most people around the country would say West Ham deserve sixth more than United”.
      Team news for tomorrow
      Some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
      Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
      Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
      “Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
      Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
      Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.
      Pogba to Juve done, say reports
      Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to return to Juventus having taken a huge pay cut.
      The 29-year-old is available on a free transfer with his contract at Old Trafford to expire at the end of the season.
      La Gazetta dello Sport report that the last doubts are “resolved” and Paul Pogba is heading back to Juventus.
      A three-year contract is “ready” for Pogba to sign but the midfielder has “decided”.
      It is worth of around £120k-a-week, plus bonuses.

      United vs Palace on Sunday
      United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
      The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.
      United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
      But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.

      How United might line up at Palace
      United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
      The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.

      United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
      But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.
      However, some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
      Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
      Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
      “Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
      Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
      Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.
      Red Devils linked to David
      Manchester United and Arsenal are being linked to West Ham and Aston Villa ‘target’ Jonathan David.
      Lille’s Canada striker has attracted Prem interest for at least a year.
      And Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.

      Dybala to snub Prem giants
      Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
      Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
      The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.
      Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.
      Chelsea & Toon also linked to David
      Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly being joined by Chelsea and Newcastle in eyeing Lille striker Jonathan David.
      West Ham and Aston Villa are also said to be keen on the Canadian speedster.
      Incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.
      Chelsea and Utd in ‘Koulibaly boost’
      Napoli’s determination to keep Chelsea and Manchester United target Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly weakened.
      The Senegal star, 30, is likely to be one of the summer’s most-sought after centre-backs.
      Chelsea need reinforcements as Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are set to leave for free, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso other possible departures in defence.
      And incoming United boss Erik ten Hag will be handed a long-term problem to resolve – finding the right partnership at centre-back.
      Ajax pair Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez have both ben mentioned recently.
      It all means Koulibaly, whose Napoli contract expires in 2023, is likely to be a major Prem target in the next close season.
      Mellor exits Old Trafford
      Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
      He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.
      “I’ve been extremely fortunate to represent this club for over 10 years. There are so many people that I have to thank for their support along the way. Many have become my closest friends throughout my time here.
      “I’ll always be connected with this amazing club.
      “Now, a new chapter starts. I’m ready for that next step and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do.”
      Dest ‘offered to Chelsea’
      Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest has reportedly been offered to Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.
      The USA and former Ajax star, 21, has played 31 games for Barca this season without becoming first-choice
      And  90 min say the Spanish giants have alerted Prem clubs that he might be available.

      Bye now, Depay later
      Speculation is growing that Arsenal could move in for Barcelona’s Memphis Depay.
      It’s suggested the ex-Manchester United speedster striker could be available for ‘just £25million.
      And now it’s claimed the Gunners will be encouraged to bid tor the Holland speedster, 28.

      Henderson urged to join Toon
      Dean Henderson has been urged to join Newcastle and prove he’s world class.
      Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes Manchester United’s second-choice keeper is driven by ‘ego’.
      Ex-England star Parker told indiabetting.co.in said of the Toon target: “Give him the opportunity.
      “You can prove it at Newcastle with the pressure on him from their fans. If he’s got an opportunity to play regular football, he’s gonna want it.”
      “He’s not gonna be sitting down, his ego is not allowing him.
      “Dean Henderson going there will put himself at the forefront and people will really see how good he is.”
      Mangala rated back-up option for De Jong
      Stuttgart’s Orel Mangala is rated a £13million back-up target if United miss out on Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
      Mangala’s agent Mehmet Eser, has reportedly confirmed the Red Devils’ interest in the Belgium star, 24,
      United have long sought a world-class anchorman.
      And Erik ten Hag’s hopes of reuniting with former Ajax hero De Jong have been dented by a Barca’s asking price of around £65m.

      United and Arsenal in for David
      Manchester United and Arsenal are being linked to West Ham and Aston Villa ‘target’ Jonathan David.
      Lille’s Canada striker has attracted Prem interest for at least a year.
      And it’s Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.

      Brandon heading back from Norwich
      Relegated Norwich are offloading eight out-of-contract players plus their four loanees – including Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour and Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams.
      German midfield star Lukas Rapp helped the Canaries to promotion in 2020-21 but departs along with Josip Drmić, Josh Giurgi, Aston Oxborough, Nelson Khumbeni, Reece McAlear, Solomon Alidor-Hamilton and Olatunde Okeowo.
      Scotland ace Gilmour, former England Under-21 defender Williams, Schalke’s Ozan Kabak and Mathias Normann from Russian side Rostov will return to their parent clubs after Saturday’s Prem finale at home to Spurs.
      Utd linked to Raphinha swoop
      Manchester United could move for Leeds winger Raphinha.
      It’s understood third-bottom Leeds could lose FIVE stars if they go down.
      Liverpool and especially West Ham have also been linked with seven cap Brazilian Raphinha.
      And the 25-year-old is admired by incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag.
      How Red Devils might line up at Palace
      United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
      The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.

      United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
      But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.
      However, some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
      Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
      Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
      “Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
      Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
      Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.

      Ralf: ten Hag must fix Utd spirit
      Ralf Rangnick will hand over Old Trafford control to incoming boss Erik ten Hag with the warning: Fix the club’s spirit.
      United will finish only sixth or seventh in the Prem after another inconsistent season, blighted by defensive failings and question marks over their unity.
      And damningly, interim chief Rangnick believes the biggest problem could be the morale of the whole squad.
      Ten Hag is expected to undertake a huge shake-up on and perhaps off the field when he arrives from Ajax over the summer.
      No more D’Mani Utd
      Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
      He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.
      “I’ve been extremely fortunate to represent this club for over 10 years. There are so many people that I have to thank for their support along the way. Many have become my closest friends throughout my time here.
      “I’ll always be connected with this amazing club.
      “Now, a new chapter starts. I’m ready for that next step and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do.”
      Pogba made City U-turn
      Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to local rivals Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.
      Pogba had even agreed personal terms with City ahead of a potential move, according to The Times.
      But the Frenchman is said to have then turned down a move across town from Old Trafford to the Etihad.
      Pogba is claimed to have been concerned by the potential backlash he would inevitably have faced from the United faithful.
      The Times go on to report Pogba reckoned life in Manchester would have become “unbearable” if he made the high-profile switch to United’s bitter rivals.
      Ten Hag told not to be Rash
      Erik Ten Hag is being urged to keep faith with out-of-form Marcus Rashford, writes Neil Custis.
      The new Manchester United boss needs convincing that the misfiring 24-year-old forward should be part of his plans next season.
      Ten Hag, who was pictured with agent Kees Vos leaving the club’s London HQ last night, has been discussing recruitment plans and wants a new striker to complement Cristiano Ronaldo.

      But staff at the club are convinced that Rashford still has a bright future, despite his disappointing season.
      Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been at pains to emphasise how good Rashford is in training — but remains at a loss as to why he cannot transfer that form to match days.
      This season has seen his worst scoring return since breaking into the first team back in 2015-16.
      United staff hope Dutchman Ten Hag can get him firing again and want the ex-Ajax boss to give him a shot.
      Jose’s United jibe
      Jose Mourinho was axed by the Red Devils in December 2018 after overseeing what was at the time their worst start to a league season in 28 years.
      Mourinho, 59, has failed to guide his new side into Italy’s top four, but will take part in the inaugural Europa Conference League final.
      Ahead of Europe’s third-tier competition’s showpiece event against Feyenoord in Tirana, Mourinho has been discussing the fortunes of some of the continent’s older managers, including Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.
      He couldn’t resist taking a dig at United and Spurs, hinting that they are clubs that no longer expect their managers to win trophies.
      Mourinho said: “I believe that the problem with Carlo Ancelotti was that when you coach Everton you are not about to win the Champions League.
      “And with me, you know, people they saw me taking up jobs where they thought that I could win trophies but they were not jobs where we were expected to lift trophies.”
      Charlie Savage signs extension with United
      Robbie Savage is delighted that his son Charlie was given a new long-term deal with Man United.
      Robbie said after his 19-year-son was handed the extension: “”So proud, thank you to everyone involved.
      “Huge thank you to Chris and Jake at new era.”

      Dybala rules out move to United
      Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
      Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
      The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.
      Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.

      But according to AS, a move to the Premier League is off the cards with Dybala’s “own environment” ruling out the proposal.
      This is despite Fabio Paratici, who orchestrated Dybala’s move to Juve, now working for the North London club.
      It looks like Dybala’s preference is to stay in Italy.
      Journalist Nicolo Schira is reporting that the 28-year-old is closing in on a move to Inter.
      Man United scrap awards
      Man United have reportedly CANCELLED their end of season awards ceremony after a request from the players.
      The Red Devils will post their worst-ever Premier League points tally regardless of Sunday’s result at Crystal Palace.
      And their shocking season meant United stars were too embarrassed for the awards night to go ahead, according to the Mirror.
      Each year the club host a glitzy end-of-season do to recognise the best performers over the course of the season from both the first-team and the academy.
      The black-tie event held at Old Trafford has occupied a regular spot on the calendar during the final two weeks of the season for the last 10 years.
      But despite Covid-19 cancelling the last two editions, the players were not keen on the night going ahead this year.
      Mbappe to announce his future in ‘The Decision II’
      Kylian Mbappe will reportedly announce his eagerly-anticipated next move this weekend, writes Chisanga Malata.
      The coveted Mbappe has remained tight-lipped on his next move but will reportedly break his silence on his future on Sunday.
      That’s according to L’Equipe, who claim the World Cup winner will spill the beans at 10am BST.
      Mbappe’s planned announcement has drawn comparisons to LeBron James’ announcing of his 2012 move to the Miami Heat.
      The future NBA Hall of Famer kept basketball fans on tenterhooks with an hour-and-half-long show – which was fittingly named ‘The Decision’.
      He eventually announced his departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers but returned to lift a championship with them in 2016.
      Man United close in on Timber
      Man United appear to be on the verge of closing in on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
      Incoming Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been linked with bringing one of his current top stars with him to Old Trafford.
      Now the Netherlands centre-half looks set to complete the move to the Premier League.
      The 20-year-old star is represented by Forza Sports Group.
      And the company has sparked speculation a transfer is imminent by seemingly dropping a big hint online.
      They posted a clip on social media of an airport and captioned it with: “Deal closing time…”

      Ten Hag in town
      Erik ten Hag has been spotted leaving the Man United’s London office ahead of taking charge – appearing set to attend United’s final game of the season.
      He arrived in London on a private jet on Wednesday with assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
      The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
      But the soon-to-be manager did visit United’s southern office in the West End to meet up with his new bosses.
      A photo showed Ten Hag, dressed in a light suit with a blue shirt, in the back seat of a motor departing the premises alongside his agent Kees Vos.

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE is set to announce his final transfer decision on Sunday, but PSG are confident the Frenchman will STAY in Paris. It looked like Real Madrid were favourites to nab the forward’s signature, but it’s been reported that Mbappe could now pledge his future to PSG.
      Meanwhile, Man Utd goalkeeper Dean Henderson is reportedly on the verge of becoming Newcastle’s first summer signing.
      Meanwhile, Sadio Mane is reportedly interested in a big money move to Paris Saint-Germain.
      It is said to be for that reason that the Senegal star has yet to sign a new contract with Liverpool.
      And Tottenham are reportedly ready to nab £70m Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez from under the noses of Arsenal.

      How Tuchel’s men could line up vs Watford
      Chelsea fans could be set for an emotional Prem finale at home to Watford as some key players bid farewell, writes JACK FIGG.
      Antonio Rudiger has already confirmed his exit ahead of a free transfer to Real Madrid.

      It leaves Trevoh Chalobah contesting for a spot in the back three with Thiago Silva likely to start.
      At left-wingback it could also be Marcos Alonso’s last game for the club as the defender pushes for a move to Barcelona.
      Andreas Christensen is believed to have already agreed terms for a free transfer and could be joined by Alonso.
      On the opposite flank, Reece James may keep his place but Azpilicueta is the logical alternative.
      Going forward, Mason Mount was benched last night but is fit to return against Watford.
      And he could fill in either on the wing or in a No10 role behind a strike partnership.
      If Tuchel opts for a 3-4-1-2, Romelu Lukaku could partner Kai Havertz up front.
      Pep happy if Ilkay stays
      Pep Guardiola he wants Ilkay Gundogan to stay at Manchester City next season, writes MARTIN BLACKBURN.
      Reports early this week suggested the Germany international midfielder has been told he can leave.
      He has just one year remaining on his contract and there are no plans to offer him a new deal – while City could also be on the look-out for new central midfielder this summer.
      But Guardiola says he is in no rush to push the 31-year-old – who took advantage of a couple of days off to get married this summer – out of the door.
      He said: “He had permission to go to Denmark, I congratulate him. I want him next season here, there’s no intention for him not to be here. Now he’s married he might want a new experience.
      “All the great twitter accounts, say he’s going to leave but I didn’t know it. that’s the situation right now.”

      Prem clubs queue up for David
      Manchester United and Arsenal are being linked to West Ham and Aston Villa ‘target’ Jonathan David.
      Lille’s Canada striker has attracted Prem interest for at least a year.

      Dybala to snub Prem giants
      Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.

      The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.

      Chelsea & Toon also linked to David

      Chelsea and Utd in ‘Koulibaly boost’
      Napoli’s determination to keep Chelsea and Manchester United target Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly weakened.
      The Senegal star, 30, is likely to be one of the summer’s most-sought after centre-backs.
      Chelsea need reinforcements as Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are set to leave for free, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso other possible departures in defence.
      And incoming United boss Erik ten Hag will be handed a long-term problem to resolve – finding the right partnership at centre-back.
      Ajax pair Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez have both ben mentioned recently.
      It all means Koulibaly, whose Napoli contract expires in 2023, is likely to be a major Prem target in the next close season.

      However caretaker boss Mike Jackson has done such a good job in reviving their hopes of survival that they put the search for a new boss on hold.
      German side Wolfsburg are also looking at Kompany – meaning Burnley may well face competition to land him.
      Much depends on whether they can hang onto their Premier League status on what promises to be a tense final day.
      Burnley host Newcastle and are now favourites to survive after grabbing a priceless point at Aston Villa on Thursday night.
      They now need to match the result rivals Leeds get at Brentford to send Jesse Marsch’s men down to the Championship.
      Derby’s Wayne Rooney was a strong contender for the Clarets hot-seat – while Chris Wilder and Joey Barton were also tipped.

      Inside Futbol say Liverpool  have been scouting the Ivory Coast star for several weeks.

      The likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard moved across the pond as they were reaching the end of their careers.

      Di Maria leaves PSG
      Angel Di Maria has said goodbye to his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates.
      Di Maria, 34, is said to be intent on leaving PSG when his contract expires next month.
      And he has posted a farewell message to his pals on Instagram.

      Goal have confirmed that the midfielder has agreed to a one-year contract at the Turin club.
      Juventus will have the option in the summer of 2023 to extend it by another year.
      After 294 appearances, 92 goals and 118 assists in PSG’s colours – Di Maria is “set to embark on a new challenge” at the Allianz Stadium.
      Dortmund sack boss Rose
      Borussia Dortmund have sacked manager Marco Rose after just one season in charge at the club.
      The Bundesliga team released a statement saying: “Borussia Dortmund and coach Marco Rose are ending their collaboration.
      “This is the result of an intensive season analysis on Thursday, in which, in addition to Rose; Hans-Joachim Watzke, Michael Zorc, Sebastian Kehl and Matthias Sammer also took part.”
      Mbappe to sensationally stay in Paris
      Sky Sport Italia claim that Mbappe is now “close to staying” at PSG and renewing his contract.
      The coveted Mbappe has remained tight-lipped on his next move but will reportedly break his silence on his future on Sunday.
      That’s according to L’Equipe, who claim the World Cup winner will officially spill the beans at 10am BST.
      Dybala rules out move to England, say reports
      Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
      Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
      The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.
      Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.

      But according to AS, a move to the Premier League is off the cards with Dybala’s “own environment” ruling out the proposal.
      This is despite Fabio Paratici, who orchestrated Dybala’s move to Juve, now working for the North London club.
      It looks like Dybala’s preference is to stay in Italy.
      Journalist Nicolo Schira is reporting that the 28-year-old is closing in on a move to Inter.
      Origi heading to Milan, say reports
      Liverpool icon Divock Origi has agreed personal terms with AC Milan ahead of the summer transfer window.
      That is according to The Athletic, who report Milan are increasingly certain of becoming Origi’s next destination when his Anfield deal runs out in June.
      However, a contract has yet to be signed with the Rossoneri and a medical hasn’t been scheduled for the forward.

      The Belgium international has been keen to join the Serie A leaders for quite some time as his opportunities at the Kop have been limited this season.
      The 27-year-old is seen more as a squad player as he picked up only two league starts in the last two seasons.
      However, Origi has still managed six goals and four assists in 18 appearances across all competitions this term.
      Mbappe to announce his future in ‘The Decision II’
      Kylian Mbappe will reportedly announce his eagerly-anticipated next move this weekend, writes Chisanga Malata.
      The coveted Mbappe has remained tight-lipped on his next move but will reportedly break his silence on his future on Sunday.
      That’s according to L’Equipe, who claim the World Cup winner will spill the beans at 10am BST.
      Mbappe’s planned announcement has drawn comparisons to LeBron James’ announcing of his 2012 move to the Miami Heat.
      The future NBA Hall of Famer kept basketball fans on tenterhooks with an hour-and-half-long show – which was fittingly named ‘The Decision’.
      He eventually announced his departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers but returned to lift a championship with them in 2016.
      Arsenal ponder summer move
      Arsenal are considering making a move for Marseille ace Boubacar Kamara.
      The Gunners reckon Kamara could be the perfect midfield partner for Thomas Partey next season, according to Fichajes.
      It comes after William Saliba has been linked with a permanent move to the French side where he’s been on loan this season.
      Sam Johnstone sparks transfer frenzy
      England keeper Sam Johnstone is being tracked by FIVE Premier League sides.
      Johnstone missed West Brom’s last five games after telling boss Steve Bruce he would not sign a new deal and that he intended to leave as a free agent.
      And that has sparked a scramble for his services, with Spurs among the clubs that have made contact.
      And the keeper is also on the radar of Newcastle, West Ham, Leicester – where Kasper Schmeichel is about to enter the final year of his contract – and Brighton.
      Pogba to return to Juve?
      Tuttosport in Italy reckons Paul Pogba’s representatives are talking to ex-club Juventus and trust between the two “gains every hour that passes”.
      The 28-year-old midfielder’s contract expires this summer and Ralf Rangnick’s team are preparing for life without him.
      The French playmaker spent four years at the Italian club before a world-record £109m move to Old Trafford.
      He made 178 appearances for the Turin team, scoring 34 goals and providing 40 assists.
      Juventus won FOUR consecutive Serie A titles with Pogba at the club.

      Good morning footy fans
      Leicester are reportedly set to enquire about £50million-rated Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
      The Telegraph claims Brendan Rodgers is looking to launch a bid for the Spain international amid doubts over Kasper Schmeichel’s future.
      Meanwhile, Sorba Thomas aims to complete his remarkable rise from non-league to Premier League star after signing a new three-year deal with Huddersfield.
      The Wales winger, 23, committed his future – with the option of another year until 2027 – as he prepares for the Championship play-off final against Nottingham Forest at Wembley on May 29.
      Elsewhere, Sadio Mane is reportedly reluctant to sign a new Liverpool contract due to transfer interest from abroad.
      Mane’s contract ends in summer 2023, and he’s yet to pen a new deal.
      But the Senegal forward could be on his way out the door if reports from Bild are true.
      The publication claims Mane’s being swayed by PSG who are tracking the attacker.
      In other news, Ollie Tanner, 20, is set to join Cardiff in a £50,000 deal from non-league Lewes.
      Tottenham were close to snapping up the winger, 20, in January before the Isthmian League Premier Division side announced personal terms could not be agreed.
      Also, Liverpool icon Divock Origi has agreed personal terms with AC Milan ahead of the summer transfer window.
      That is according to The Athletic, who report Milan are increasingly certain of becoming Origi’s next destination when his Anfield deal runs out in June.
      However, a contract has yet to be signed with the Rossoneri and a medical hasn’t been scheduled for the forward.
      Finally, Kalidou Koulibaly has opened up on his Napoli future.
      Koulibaly told Onze Mondial: “I would not cause an argument to leave the club. If I ever did leave Napoli, I would do it on my terms.
      “There would be no argument and I would speak to the president. He tries to listen to the fans who don’t want me go and every time has asked for a fee that was too high.”
      Newcastle, Man United and Man City have been linked with the defender.
      Koulibaly speaks on Napoli future
      Man United transfer target Kalidou Koulibaly has opened up on his Napoli future.
      Koulibaly told Onze Mondial: “I would not cause an argument to leave the club. If I ever did leave Napoli, I would do it on my terms.
      “There would be no argument and I would speak to the president. He tries to listen to the fans who don’t want me go and every time has asked for a fee that was too high.”
      Newcastle and Man City have also been linked with the defender.
      Arsenal didn’t expect top four
      Arsenal reportedly had no intention of finishing fourth this season.
      And that’s why the club’s transfer budget will not be affected in the summer, according to ESPN.
      However, the Gunners will wait to see what European competition they end up in before deciding their recruitment strategy, the report adds.
      Keeping Guard of Jesus
      Man City boss Pep Guardiola reportedly wants to keep hold of Gabriel Jesus this summer.
      Jesus has been linked with a move to Arsenal.
      But ESPN claim that Guardiola would like the Brazilian striker to remain at the Etihad.
      Kompany tipped for Burnley job
      Vincent Kompany has reportedly emerged as a frontrunner to take over at Burnley.
      Under-23s coach Mike Jackson is currently interim boss and has been assisted by centre-back Ben Mee since Sean Dyche was surprisingly sacked.
      But Burnley chairman Alan Pace is assessing candidates to take over from Dyche full-time, after his ten-year reign ended.
      According to Manchester Evening News, Kompany is Pace’s “leading candidate” for the role.
      But it could be dependant on Burnley beating the drop, as they currently sit a point above safety.
      Arsenal ponder summer move
      Arsenal are considering making a move for Marseille ace Boubacar Kamara.
      The Gunners reckon Kamara could be the perfect midfield partner for Thomas Partey next season, according to Fichajes.
      It comes after William Saliba has been linked with a permanent move to the French side where he’s been on loan this season.

      Pogba to Juventus, Ten Hag to watch Palace game, Man Utd closing in on Jurrien Timber, Wan Bissaka told he can leave

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could be set to watch Paul Pogba leave the club to return to Juventus this summer, according to reports. Meanwhile, new boss Erik Ten Hag could be in attendance for United’s clash with Crystal Palace this weekend on the final day of the season.
      Leeds’ Kalvin Phillips has reportedly told friends he will never move to Old Trafford.
      United, however, look to be closing in on the signing of Jurrien Timber.
      And the Red Devils face a battle with Real Madrid for the signature of Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

      Brandon heading back from Norwich
      Relegated Norwich are offloading eight out-of-contract players plus their four loanees – including Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour and Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams.
      German midfield star Lukas Rapp helped the Canaries to promotion in 2020-21 but departs along with Josip Drmić, Josh Giurgi, Aston Oxborough, Nelson Khumbeni, Reece McAlear, Solomon Alidor-Hamilton and Olatunde Okeowo.
      Scotland ace Gilmour, former England Under-21 defender Williams, Schalke’s Ozan Kabak and Mathias Normann from Russian side Rostov will return to their parent clubs after Saturday’s Prem finale at home to Spurs.
      Utd linked to Raphinha swoop
      Manchester United could move for Leeds winger Raphinha.
      It’s understood third-bottom Leeds could lose FIVE stars if they go down.
      Liverpool and especially West Ham have also been linked with seven cap Brazilian Raphinha.
      And the 25-year-old is admired by incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag.
      How Red Devils might line up at Palace
      United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
      The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.

      United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
      But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.
      However, some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
      Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
      Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
      “Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
      Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
      Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.

      Ralf: ten Hag must fix Utd spirit
      Ralf Rangnick will hand over Old Trafford control to incoming boss Erik ten Hag with the warning: Fix the club’s spirit.
      United will finish only sixth or seventh in the Prem after another inconsistent season, blighted by defensive failings and question marks over their unity.
      And damningly, interim chief Rangnick believes the biggest problem could be the morale of the whole squad.
      Ten Hag is expected to undertake a huge shake-up on and perhaps off the field when he arrives from Ajax over the summer.
      No more D’Mani Utd
      Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
      He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.
      “I’ve been extremely fortunate to represent this club for over 10 years. There are so many people that I have to thank for their support along the way. Many have become my closest friends throughout my time here.
      “I’ll always be connected with this amazing club.
      “Now, a new chapter starts. I’m ready for that next step and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do.”
      Pogba made City U-turn
      Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to local rivals Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.
      Pogba had even agreed personal terms with City ahead of a potential move, according to The Times.
      But the Frenchman is said to have then turned down a move across town from Old Trafford to the Etihad.
      Pogba is claimed to have been concerned by the potential backlash he would inevitably have faced from the United faithful.
      The Times go on to report Pogba reckoned life in Manchester would have become “unbearable” if he made the high-profile switch to United’s bitter rivals.
      Ten Hag told not to be Rash
      Erik Ten Hag is being urged to keep faith with out-of-form Marcus Rashford, writes Neil Custis.
      The new Manchester United boss needs convincing that the misfiring 24-year-old forward should be part of his plans next season.
      Ten Hag, who was pictured with agent Kees Vos leaving the club’s London HQ last night, has been discussing recruitment plans and wants a new striker to complement Cristiano Ronaldo.

      But staff at the club are convinced that Rashford still has a bright future, despite his disappointing season.
      Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been at pains to emphasise how good Rashford is in training — but remains at a loss as to why he cannot transfer that form to match days.
      This season has seen his worst scoring return since breaking into the first team back in 2015-16.
      United staff hope Dutchman Ten Hag can get him firing again and want the ex-Ajax boss to give him a shot.
      Jose’s United jibe
      Jose Mourinho was axed by the Red Devils in December 2018 after overseeing what was at the time their worst start to a league season in 28 years.
      Mourinho, 59, has failed to guide his new side into Italy’s top four, but will take part in the inaugural Europa Conference League final.
      Ahead of Europe’s third-tier competition’s showpiece event against Feyenoord in Tirana, Mourinho has been discussing the fortunes of some of the continent’s older managers, including Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.
      He couldn’t resist taking a dig at United and Spurs, hinting that they are clubs that no longer expect their managers to win trophies.
      Mourinho said: “I believe that the problem with Carlo Ancelotti was that when you coach Everton you are not about to win the Champions League.
      “And with me, you know, people they saw me taking up jobs where they thought that I could win trophies but they were not jobs where we were expected to lift trophies.”
      Charlie Savage signs extension with United
      Robbie Savage is delighted that his son Charlie was given a new long-term deal with Man United.
      Robbie said after his 19-year-son was handed the extension: “”So proud, thank you to everyone involved.
      “Huge thank you to Chris and Jake at new era.”

      Journalist Nicolo Schira is reporting that the 28-year-old is closing in on a move to Inter.
      Man United scrap awards
      Man United have reportedly CANCELLED their end of season awards ceremony after a request from the players.
      The Red Devils will post their worst-ever Premier League points tally regardless of Sunday’s result at Crystal Palace.
      And their shocking season meant United stars were too embarrassed for the awards night to go ahead, according to the Mirror.
      Each year the club host a glitzy end-of-season do to recognise the best performers over the course of the season from both the first-team and the academy.
      The black-tie event held at Old Trafford has occupied a regular spot on the calendar during the final two weeks of the season for the last 10 years.
      But despite Covid-19 cancelling the last two editions, the players were not keen on the night going ahead this year.
      Mbappe to announce his future in ‘The Decision II’
      Kylian Mbappe will reportedly announce his eagerly-anticipated next move this weekend, writes Chisanga Malata.

      Man United close in on Timber
      Man United appear to be on the verge of closing in on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
      Incoming Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been linked with bringing one of his current top stars with him to Old Trafford.
      Now the Netherlands centre-half looks set to complete the move to the Premier League.
      The 20-year-old star is represented by Forza Sports Group.
      And the company has sparked speculation a transfer is imminent by seemingly dropping a big hint online.
      They posted a clip on social media of an airport and captioned it with: “Deal closing time…”

      Ten Hag in town
      Erik ten Hag has been spotted leaving the Man United’s London office ahead of taking charge – appearing set to attend United’s final game of the season.
      He arrived in London on a private jet on Wednesday with assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
      The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
      But the soon-to-be manager did visit United’s southern office in the West End to meet up with his new bosses.

      But he was delighted to instead pay homage to his ‘inspiration Jordan.
      He told a Complex store video: “The Number 7 was worn by Raul, the captain, the God of Real Madrid, so I was never going to get the No7.
      “So they said, ‘OK, these numbers are available’. I said, ‘well, 23, it has to be 23’.
